"I have been watching the views on your site for quite so time now and have finally gotten around to sending mine. I live on the edge of a small town and recently the land across from me was sold to a developer who is making a road in the forest and plans to build some houses along the road, progress, it sucks"

RASPUNICUM'S VIEW

The view from Raspunicum's window in Pirna, Saxony, Germany.

"The photo was taken in june 27th, 2006. One can see the southwest part of the old town of pirna (the roofs). It was early afternoon when a heavy thunderstorm started (something special in that very hot summer). I caught the moment when the sky had just begun to turn black. in the gutter you can see the rain..."

THE BOOKWell, we have surpassed a collection of 100 views. In fact I think we are heading towards 1000+! 207 views have been included on the blog so far, and there are hundreds more sitting in my inbox waiting to be posted. Which they will be!

I have chosen to put together a book. A collection of 100 views. I will hand pick 100 views to be included in the book. I will of course get in touch with the individuals who sent in the views and get their permission.

I'm not sure how to work it yet. Should I self publish and sell the book over the net, or should I contact a publisher. Should I make it availble to 'everyone', or just print a private copy. What do you think?I'm not sure if anyone would be interested or not? Let me know what you think about the idea. Or if you have any suggestions throw them my way! Or... if you are a publisher or know of one, feel free to say hi.

"I live in Xalapa, which is the capital city of Veracruz State in Mexico (the country that in the maps goes below the U.S.). My house is placed in a "oasis" sort of speak, because if you were flying you could see it´s sorrounded by the city, and yet is pretty much like living in the wild (on car the city is 5 minutes away), I guess that´s why my cat loves so much my window, is like a king enjoying the view of his kingdom. There are two things why I like to live so much in here: on the day if the sky is clear you can see "Orizaba´s Peak" one of the highest mountain in the country, and by night you can spend hours laying in the grass watching the stars (and the ocassional UFO) without getting bored"

"The first is the view from my living room window. I hate the windows, they are wooden, victorian, single-glazed and almost rotten. I don’t understand why English people don’t put proper windows in their houses.

The second is a view from my sleeping room. You can see my neighbour’s garden. He doesn’t really care about his garden. But I think he is nice, because sometimes I can hear him playing guitar and singing, so he must be nice. I put some food for the birds in front of my window, and on my days off I just love to watch them coming and eating the food. They always come at the same time. In the morning, lunchtime, and in the evening. They really make my day!"

YOUR WORDS

You found a theme that appeals to us all; looking out our windows and sharing such in true internet style. We and our big puppy thank you for adding us to your hall of fame. Carol [Canada]

Every time I turn my computer on I take a look at the views in your blog. I love to start my day like this and I think it’s a great idea to publish a collection of the 100 best views. I would love to have a copy of the book. Mirja [Finland]

Love your blog - it really took me out of my world when I looked through the images, and reminded me of places and journeys I've made. Jim Holt [London]

Here's a blog which brings joy to my heart: The View From Your Window. Take a photo looking out your window, email it to the blogger, and she'll post it. Read the blog to see views from windows in dozens of countries around the world. Sure beats the view from your desk, doesn't it? Blueyonder.co.uk

I hope you get not drowned into pictures since the German web-tv www.ehrensenf.de posted a link to your blog. Klaus Matthey [Germany]

Hope you will collect a lot of them! It's really interesting to see how the world is on the various parts of the world. I will be watching your page. Dawid [Poland]

What a fabulous idea - this will be fascinating to watch as it grows and becomes (I'm sure) an international phenomenon! Barry McGlashan [Scotland]

"This blog is a collection of views from people's windows, a very interesting analysis of living environments around the world" B-Media

Reading the blog is like looking through dozens of windows around the world, all at once. Artnouveauho [USA]

Great idea, by the way. Hope people will keep sending more views. Ilka Hiltunen [Finland]
